So turn off the lights, light the candle in your pumpkin, and join me as I take a look at some of Michael Myers appearances in gaming. It’s an incredibly satisfying experience and for me it’s now one of my go-to options when I’ve had a rough day. I can don the boiler suit, pull on the mask, grab a massive kitchen knife, and stalk unfortunate victims just like he does in the movies. And while I have had some genuinely heart-pounding scares whilst confronting him in-game, I’ve also discovered something I didn’t even realise I was longing for. From classic beat-em-ups to first-person shooters, it feels like no genre is safe from the white-faced hunter.
Michael Myers has made some great appearances in the world of video games, including one that has become one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. So, with all of these deep-rooted fears of Michael hanging around in the back of my mind, you can imagine the terror I experienced when I first bumped into him in my safe place: gaming. And the relentless determination behind his stalking. It must be something to do with that mask. I’m not afraid of Jason, or Freddy, or even crazy old Leatherface. Especially when I drunkenly bump into someone dressed as him on Halloween. I still can’t quite put my finger on it, but he still sends a shiver down my spine. Something about Myers has always haunted me since the first time I saw Halloween as a young boy. And for me, there’s no horror shoes I would like to fill more, than those of Michael Myers. But they can also offer a new perspective for these characters when they allow you to take control of them, and see what it’s like in their shoes. Horror games can be really chilling, especially when it involves someone or something that you’re already afraid of after seeing them in a movie. So when the two elements come together, and the horror movie world spills over into video games, a man like me can get very excited.
I’d choose a night in with a scary film or an online multiplayer over a night on the town any day of the week. I’m a nerd, and I don’t care who knows it. Anyone who knows me would tell you my two greatest passions are horror movies and video games.
